“Toyota’s seen record light trucks sales for the first nine months of the year, led by the Tacoma and Highlander, both strong leaders in their segments,” said Jack Hollis, group vice president and general manager, Toyota division. “Our alternative fuel vehicle leadership remains strong as our hybrids gained double-digit growth in the Camry Hybrid, Avalon Hybrid, Prius Prime and Mirai models.”

Lexus posted September sales of 24,597 units, down 2.3 percent on a DSR basis and down 6.1 percent on a volume basis.

“We have built on our success during the first half of the year with a strong third quarter thanks to three percent growth in our luxury utility vehicles and a 115 percent jump in our flagship LS sedan,” said David Christ, group vice president and general manager, Lexus division. “The all-new Lexus ES sedan is off to a remarkable start, and we are looking forward to the addition of the UX compact LUV, which will introduce younger buyers to the Lexus brand starting in December.”
